What is a miner?

Miners discover new block entries for the blockchain, and race to solve a cryptographic puzzle to verify a bundle of transactions that will be joined together (along with some other data) into a new block. Every time a miner finds a block, he or she is rewarded with a block reward. This is exactly where you come in. By lending some of your unused computing power to Honeyminer, you are also racing to solve this puzzle and find the next block. We take care of the hard cryptography and mathematics, and leave you with the fun.
